Some pretty decent stuff here this month. My thanks to you, Eddie, for giving us a contest!

Wesson, congrats on your win!

Thanks for your compliment on my story, too. Really, I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but I totally flubbed the rules for this challenge: there's not a single word about dancing in mine. :oops: I only realized this when the voting page went live. I immediately contacted Ed about it and said he could withdraw it, but he said he was being loose with the rules, and let it stand.

Sometime within a day after voting began, I found an article which (sort of) relates to my story; it could be an answer to how to collect 5,000 gallons of "pink root sap" --

Anyway, here are my choices:

1 ) The Forbidden-Fruit-Dance…
2 ) A Mid Summer Nights Dinner Delight
3 ) The Folly of Sister Katarina
4 ) The Dancing Emporium

Also, select the one story that in your view best meets the challenge requirements and captures the spirit of the challenge to receive the challenge bonus:

Okay, I've made a new thread for the mini-con and moved the pertinent posts, here:

I'll post the hotel's web-page, and a list of bars and restaurants as I find them.
